THe PS1 had alot of good games prior to the dual analog controller (Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Loaded, Etc) so I'm not worried about those...but what PSP developers need to concentrate on is good games that can be played using just the D-pad and face buttons.

Concentrating on making 3D games for PSP is silly if it doesn't have dual analog sticks.]]>Mar 4th 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/
Though it'd be amusing if it came with a teeny external UMD drive... Could even let you rip the game onto a memory card, DRM'd and everything, I suppose...]]>Mar 4th 2009 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/what ever they do hopefully the next version of the PSP gets rid of all the bad, adds all the missing and gives us something elegant.
there should be a way to register the games you own and the device you own so you can transfer the UMDs and PS1 games over.
otherwise I think I'll buy a netbook and load it full of emulators to play the games I legally own.]]>Mar 4th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 2:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/
Too late Sony. Dark Alex unlocked the floodgates a long time ago, and actually made you sell at least 20 million PSPs just to be hacked.

I'm still waiting for you to release the PSP camera and the GPS addon in America, having been planned for release here since early 2007. IS Sony even still making them?]]>Mar 4th 2009 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/
ANYWAY, if the PSP2 is not hackable (if that alien unhackable technology ever lands) I'm simply not getting it.]]>Mar 30th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/

*boom, tish*
Sorry, someone had to say it.
Seriously, it's great they are doing this. Old-school games ftw.]]>Mar 4th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/
the system lacks analogue buttons, which would make throttle and braking control impossible

we're all better off if polyphony focuses on GT5]]>Mar 4th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 5th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/
As for the PSP2, I have to say that if they add a second analog stick and remove the UMD, I'm sold!]]>Mar 4th 2009 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 5th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/Mar 4th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/sony-plays-catch-up-with-hackers-mulling-over-psp-virtual-cons/it needs
Real wireless function, not cripple crappleware.
a design change
2 analog sticks,
touch interface
downloadable games,
a copyprotection scheme that isnt imaginary (seriously sony?! releasing the first firmware 1.00 allowed for unsigned code?! you learned NOTHING from nintendos lack of security?)

NO BS sony hyped format that no one uses, with the exception of BLU RAY
able to use as a ps3 controller a SUPER plus.
